The Daily WTF Should Be Required Reading

education-memes, computer-science-memes, real-world-coding-memes, daily-wtf-memes, curriculum-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

College CS departments be like: "Here's how to implement a red-black tree from scratch" but won't teach you about the horrors of production code written by caffeinated developers at 2AM. The Daily WTF chronicles real-world coding disasters that no algorithm class prepares you for. Nothing says "welcome to the industry" like inheriting a codebase where someone used Excel as a database and regex to parse HTML. Academia vs reality: the eternal comedy special.

Unfinished Side Projects

The enthusiasm of typing git init versus the crushing weight of responsibility that follows is a universal constant. It's that moment when you're like "I'm gonna build the next billion-dollar app!" and then your side project stares down at you judgmentally from the rooftop of abandoned ambition for the next 3 years. The folder sits there, taking up 12KB of disk space and 600GB of guilt.
